We wanted a real farm country feel for our family (including our dogs), but also wanted easy access to Seattle and Woodinville. This is it! Perfection! A spotless modernized farmhouse with a large fenced fairy tale backyard *(two old apple trees, chicken houses just over the fence, deer stealing apples at night, horses just across a driveway). There is also a lovely firepit and a BBQ grill. The small town of Monroe is 5/10 minutes away, and has every convenience (even sushi), fast food, large grocery store, post office, etc. Nine miles away is Snohomish with its main street of antique and vintage shops and a fabulous seafood restaurant . We are horse lovers and attended a horse show at the Evergreen Equestrian Park, which is just minutes away, and found many local horse stables for riding and trail lessons. Woodinville has wonderful shops as well as a beautiful park and a long walking path. When home, we enjoyed the peace and quiet, and also appreciated the state of the art appliances, TV, and WIFI. Our host was truly accommodating and understanding, and very responsive.
